Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools

Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
